Abstract

The invention relates to Bluetooth wireless headset (100). The headset includes an earphone (110) having a speaker, a telescopic part (120), to which the earphone is attached, and a body (130) including a built-in Bluetooth chip. The body is bar-shaped and has a space (133) for receiving the telescopic part. The telescopic part is movable through the space outward to and inward from the earphone. The earphone moves inward in response to a single push and moves outward in response to a second push. A user can use the headset conveniently.
